0:00:20 > 0:00:23Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
0:00:23 > 0:00:27tomorrow. It might be a movable feast, your guess is as good as
0:00:27 > 0:00:32ours. Giles Cunningham, former PR and Tory adviser is with us. Good to
0:00:32 > 0:00:42hear. And also economics
0:00:45 > 0:00:51commentator Daesh either David. Welcome to you both. Housing leads
0:00:51 > 0:00:58in the i, also the Metro, with Sajid Javid suggesting the baby boomers
0:00:58 > 0:01:02are blocking solving the housing crisis. The same story in the Daily
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Mail, baby boomers described as selfish, and the Daily Telegraph
0:01:06 > 0:01:14says that since the Cardiff tax was scrapped car tax has soared. The
0:01:14 > 0:01:22Guardian -- the car desk task. The Guardian tops glory is on the new
0:01:22 > 0:01:30allegations about Kevin Spacey. -- top story. The daily Mirror has this
0:01:30 > 0:01:36story on Sylvester Stallone.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The Financial Times claims Saudi princes and businessman
0:01:38 > 0:01:40are being asked to hand over money in exchange for their freedom
0:01:41 > 0:01:42after a purge there.
0:01:42 > 0:01:49The Express says that three cups of coffee a day could help beat cancer.
0:01:49 > 0:01:57Welcome to front-page lottery. Let's begin with the Daily Mail. This much
0:01:57 > 0:02:06I do know. Housing. You baby boomers are so selfish. Who is saying this,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Giles?Sajid Javid, the communications secretary. --
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Communities Secretary. Housing is a mass dividing line at the moment
0:02:13 > 0:02:17between the Tories and Labour, huge issue about people getting on the
0:02:17 > 0:02:21housing ladder, how does that happen, and from what we have seen
0:02:21 > 0:02:25and what we know and this is a snapshot, he is saying that over 60s
0:02:25 > 0:02:28are resisting people getting on the housing ladder, and I presume this
0:02:28 > 0:02:38comes down to people saying not in my backyard, NIMBYs, and the Tories
0:02:38 > 0:02:41have a huge demographic over 50 who vote for them, but how do they get
0:02:41 > 0:02:45the young people to vote for them? The way to do that is to say, these
0:02:45 > 0:02:50are the retail policies we have on offer, and so housing will be there.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53What is quite, I suppose, extraordinary about this
0:02:53 > 0:02:57intervention, you have this from a Cabinet minister on the eve of the
0:02:57 > 0:03:04budget. Very extraordinary. Not very normal.Well, you say that, but we
0:03:04 > 0:03:09don't have the cashback remains very do we, to the so-called dementia tax
0:03:09 > 0:03:17that got them in trouble, the? It has a bit of a ring about it. -- got
0:03:17 > 0:03:22them in trouble, too?It does, and you're less able to afford a house
0:03:22 > 0:03:27in your 30s venue where in the 1930s, so something like a
0:03:27 > 0:03:31generational war they are pulling out your -- you are less likely to
0:03:31 > 0:03:34be able to afford a house in your Verrattis than you would have been
0:03:34 > 0:03:41in the 1930s.A weird strategy, picking on your core voters?A very
0:03:41 > 0:03:44strange strategy because the Tory demographic is 58 and over. But if
0:03:44 > 0:03:51they are going to survive, carry on, they need to woo the young voters,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53but I think what is really interesting is you have a
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Communities Secretary setting out his red lanes for budget before the
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Chancellor. This really underlies the huge problem in the cabinet,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06everyone is freelancing at the moment, and theminister is seeing
0:04:06 > 0:04:09shows was to be in charge of housing, so you have three people
0:04:09 > 0:04:13looking after it but no one sorting it out.It just feels more
0:04:13 > 0:04:18uncertainty in the market. What is going?Does it get anybody any
0:04:18 > 0:04:21confidence when Theresa May says she is taking charge, given there are
0:04:21 > 0:04:25one or two other issues she needs to be addressing as well?It is good to
0:04:25 > 0:04:29know her mind is on this matter as well. But as you see, there is so
0:04:29 > 0:04:32much out there. You have your housing minister. Let them get on
0:04:32 > 0:04:39with it.And also, as we said, we are in a very uncertain market. It
0:04:39 > 0:04:43fuels uncertainty, so not great whichever way you look at it.And it
0:04:43 > 0:04:47fuels resentment as well.It does, and it suggests she does not have
0:04:47 > 0:04:51control because in a majority Government you would not have the
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Communities Secretary freelancing 60s before abudget. A lot more
0:04:55 > 0:05:00wrong with the housing market than those who already own. And once
0:05:00 > 0:05:03you're that ladder it is already cheaper than it was for your
0:05:03 > 0:05:14parents... They have moved a little bit, haven't they? The Telegraph.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Endgame for Mugabe, and this is interesting. Anyone watching
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Zimbabwe for a long time would probably wonder whether the end of
0:05:21 > 0:05:25the Mugabe resume would ever come about, after 37 years, but still
0:05:25 > 0:05:32seeing this is not a coup?Even on the front page of the Telegraph,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35they are seeing this still may or may not be the end for Mugabe, but
0:05:35 > 0:05:41the question is even if he does go, who comes in instead, and will that
0:05:41 > 0:05:44really make a difference to people in Zimbabwe who have had a terrible
0:05:44 > 0:05:49time? We talk about inflation going up 7%, but basically there are
0:05:49 > 0:05:53prices doubled overnight sometimes, going through the roof, a dreadful
0:05:53 > 0:05:58time yet they have all these great resources on their doorstep.Not a
0:05:58 > 0:06:01revolution. A change of personnel but the guy they are seeing was
0:06:01 > 0:06:05going to take over was Mugabe's right-hand man for 40 years,
0:06:05 > 0:06:10surreally are we going to see much of a difference?If Mugabe even
0:06:10 > 0:06:16steps down and let's be anyone other than his wife.Not a revolution,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19change of personnel, but don't get me wrong, it does not feel like
0:06:19 > 0:06:24there is a massive changing of the guard at this moment.But he is
0:06:24 > 0:06:29still respected as a revolution are a large parts of Africa because he
0:06:29 > 0:06:34brought black majority rule well before motherboards of Africa. Sign
0:06:34 > 0:06:39a guess, and healed wider as well for someone propelling Zimbabwe into
0:06:39 > 0:06:44a new era --yes, and he was also healed for. His health policies as
0:06:44 > 0:06:50well. But times have changed. 37 years there and I think people are
0:06:50 > 0:06:54regretting that.I suppose, can it be a peaceful change, the handover
0:06:54 > 0:07:01whoever takes it?A lot of Western diplomats have been saying there are
0:07:01 > 0:07:04quite welcome to this change, but he has ruined that country so it is a
0:07:04 > 0:07:08long way back.Let's stay with the Telegraph and something a lot closer
0:07:08 > 0:07:20to home. Car tax dodging sores since discs ask... Don't laugh, it is
0:07:20 > 0:07:33difficult to see that headline! -- car tax soars. I always found the
0:07:33 > 0:07:36car tax disc useful because it reminded you of when it was due, but
0:07:36 > 0:07:39now they send a reminder in the poster you can't pretend you don't
0:07:39 > 0:07:43know.If you read what they are saying they are saying the figures
0:07:43 > 0:07:46have tripled, it is a crisis, but then they go on to say that half of
0:07:46 > 0:07:49those who have not renewed their desks are actually less than two
0:07:49 > 0:07:53months out of date, so they may just have forgotten. I think you
0:07:53 > 0:08:01mentioned, Giles, it has happened to you before.You do have your car
0:08:01 > 0:08:07taxed?I don't have a car any more, but, yes I think it is down to
0:08:07 > 0:08:12people for getting...You got hit by a car?No, hit by not having a car,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16because I don't have one any more. I think it is people forgetting,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20rather than being wilful.But it was meant to save money, getting rid of
0:08:20 > 0:08:23this paper disc that sat in the corner of your windscreen Konta and
0:08:23 > 0:08:29it has not worked out.Yes, but on the other hand we're not talking
0:08:29 > 0:08:34about the Paradise papers here.No, but we're supposed to pay because it
0:08:34 > 0:08:39helps the roads be safe.And perhaps it hasn't quite worked.I think it
0:08:39 > 0:08:44will take some time to bed in.How long? They were abolished three
0:08:44 > 0:08:47years ago!Digital is the preachers or I think everyone needs to bed
0:08:47 > 0:08:54then.People perhaps don't like renewing online and all that sort of
0:08:54 > 0:09:01stuff but I like it so I am fine. Let's look at the Saudi story of the
0:09:01 > 0:09:12FT. Saudi Princes billions in exchange for freedom... Hundreds of
0:09:12 > 0:09:15royals, ministers, businessmen being held in rather fancy hotels, it has
0:09:15 > 0:09:21to be said, Giles, but there is a way to pay to get home.This is all
0:09:21 > 0:09:24about the Saudis massively overhauling their regime, rooting
0:09:24 > 0:09:28out corruption, saying we are in a Brave New World, we want to engage
0:09:28 > 0:09:33with the West. I think there is a recognition in the country they will
0:09:33 > 0:09:38move from a oil based economy to a knowledge-based economy and they are
0:09:38 > 0:09:41saying, come here, invest, we are open and transparent.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44They are trying to send out a very clear signal to the rest of the
0:09:44 > 0:09:48world.Huge proportions of their wealth they are expected to hand
0:09:48 > 0:09:55over for their freedom?£300 billion in total, and we were talking to
0:09:55 > 0:09:59about £107 million being evaded in car tax then we have this much here.
0:09:59 > 0:10:09You're right,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Giles. This is about the fact they can't rely on oil any more. What do
0:10:15 > 0:10:18you do instead? Tap up some relatives by locking them up in the
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Ritz-Carlton and making them sleep on their mattresses. That is
0:10:19 > 0:10:22apparently what it takes.But in some cases they are accused of
0:10:22 > 0:10:24corruption over many years, are to be?They are, and it is including
0:10:24 > 0:10:31the Lloyd Ashley what has happened -- over many years, aren't they?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35They are, and it is intriguing, what has happened there.It is a quick
0:10:35 > 0:10:42way of dispensing justice, though, isn't it? And earns a few quid.We
0:10:42 > 0:10:48don't know all the details.Do we ever with Saudi Arabia?They are
0:10:48 > 0:10:51trying to move forward. Ultimately we want them to engage with us. It
0:10:51 > 0:10:54is better for the rest of the world if they do so we should encourage
0:10:54 > 0:10:58that.But then you get into the territory of selling arms to
0:10:58 > 0:11:01countries like Saudi Arabia, and then seeing what is going on with a
0:11:01 > 0:11:13proxy war in Yemen.Of course, and I
0:11:15 > 0:11:17think the wider issue, how do we get them to become more progressive in
0:11:17 > 0:11:20terms of human rights. They have now allowed women to drive. We should
0:11:20 > 0:11:23keep pushing them forward. It is not a perfect situation that that is the
0:11:23 > 0:11:25situation with a lot of other countries in the world.But the
0:11:25 > 0:11:28golden crown prince says, I'm going to step up hostilities with Iran...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And the tensions in Lebanon. Absolutely.Let's look at the Sun.
0:11:31 > 0:11:41Cocoa nuts, it says. Cash to the West Indies palms. Yoga, eels in the
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Philippines... Money not being well spent if the subtext here. This is
0:11:45 > 0:11:49aid money from Britain.The budget is coming up next week and I suppose
0:11:49 > 0:11:52this is going to the fact that money is really ring fenced for aid and
0:11:52 > 0:11:55they are asking if this is the right way to do it. Eye-catching, isn't
0:11:55 > 0:12:02it?Yes, when we are going through the most complex negotiations of our
0:12:02 > 0:12:08lives and people are questioning how every penny is spent, yes.A lot of
0:12:08 > 0:12:12people question whether we should spend money on it when there are a
0:12:12 > 0:12:14lot of problems at home but David Cameron was very clear it was an
0:12:14 > 0:12:19important part of spending, wasn't he? When you were there?Yes, it is
0:12:19 > 0:12:22about enhancing democracy in different parts of the world,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26accountability and transparency, how you spend that money, but we should
0:12:26 > 0:12:29not have back from that because there have been a few mistakes. It
0:12:29 > 0:12:34is a good thing.It is also about engage with local communities, isn't
0:12:34 > 0:12:37it, and finding out exactly what they want in terms of aid, rather
0:12:37 > 0:12:42than imposing it in some superior manner?Exactly, we think you need
0:12:42 > 0:12:44coconuts to developers that is what we will do. But the wider point
0:12:44 > 0:12:49here, one of the things we here at the moment, we don't want people
0:12:49 > 0:13:00migrating to Europe in particular because they are in
0:13:02 > 0:13:05search of a better life. One area which you can actually make a
0:13:05 > 0:13:07difference in is by making life better in those countries, and
0:13:07 > 0:13:09perhaps then they won't want to move. That is one of the arguments
0:13:09 > 0:13:13anyway. It is a really tricky one, as you say. It was a big plan for
0:13:13 > 0:13:15the Cameron Government but now we are much more cash strapped, and
0:13:15 > 0:13:17going forward...A lot of people will question why £13 billion is
0:13:17 > 0:13:32being spent overseas. Let's finish with Pidgeley of the Mail -- Mail.
0:13:32 > 0:13:40Only the Mail. Don't worry. Who is Tortzilla? Is bring this only
0:13:40 > 0:13:45because you have only just seen it. Lives at the bottom of a French
0:13:45 > 0:13:55family's garden.He sounds quite harmless. What does he do? He bites
0:13:55 > 0:13:59the toes of people who dare to go into the garden. Have you ever had a
0:13:59 > 0:14:09rogue pet?Not a rogue porters!We had two -- not a rogue tortoise. We
0:14:09 > 0:14:12had rogue rabbit, and she would be upset when you're upset her plate of
0:14:12 > 0:14:17grain and all that sort of stuff. She died a long time ago. She was a
0:14:17 > 0:14:2470s rabbit, so probably not kept... 70s rabbit! Chris Read rabbit?She
0:14:24 > 0:14:29would be kept in hotel conditions these days, wouldn't she? Anyway, we
0:14:29 > 0:14:35will find out more, no doubt about Tortzilla when we leave you and we
0:14:35 > 0:14:38actually have time to read it. That is all from the Papers tonight.
0:14:38 > 0:14:49Don't forget you can keep up on the BBC News website. Bbc.co.uk/papers.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53And if you miss the programme you can watch it later on iPlayer. Giles
0:14:53 > 0:14:57and Dharshini, you coped well with that programme. Get used to it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04Don't lose your shirt. We are going to say goodbye.
